Free Wet Salvage Workshop - Register by 5/13 to attend our first session in Syracuse!
Do you work or volunteer at a library, archive, museum, or historical society in New York State? This May and June, DHPSNY is offering a
FREE, hands-on workshop that will teach essential techniques for salvaging paper-based collection items during a water emergency. With sessions held at locations across the state, this immersive program is a valuable opportunity to strengthen your institution’s
emergency preparedness and response efforts.
In-Person Workshop: Basic Salvage Techniques for Paper Collections
This program will cover the role of wet salvage of paper-based collections as part of a larger incident response. After an overview of emergency preparation and response protocols, participants will take on incident response roles and run through a mock-flood
scenario. Hands-on and talking through the process, participants will work to salvage and triage a variety of collection items from a pool, including papers, photographs, and bound materials. A post-scenario debrief gives participants the opportunity to review
their actions with workshop instructors. Workshop attendance will be limited due to the hands-on nature of the program. Registration closes one week before each session.

Webjam: A Web Archiving Jamboree! Join our virtual web archiving co-working space March 25, 2025 @ 11am EST
Join us for our first quarterly meet-up of Webjam for 2025!
Keeping up with web archiving maintenance can be challenging, so we created Webjam, a virtual co-working space, where we meet quarterly to run crawls and problem-solve. As past steering committee members of the Society of American Archivists Web Archiving Section, we often discussed how maintaining web archives programs is an isolating task. As the solo managers of the web archives programs at our respective institutions, we created this space to support each other. Web archiving requires constant maintenance and labor, especially because of ever-evolving dynamic and interactive web content, so finding time to consistently work on it can be challenging when we have so many other work responsibilities. However, we found that scheduling this time helps us stay on top of it. Join us at our next Webjam, where all levels of web archiving are welcome. Even if you don't have questions, you are welcome to (virtually!) hang out, meet fellow practitioners, and work on your web archives collections! Sign up??to receive a Zoom link the day before the meeting. When:?March 25, 2025, 11:00 AM Eastern Time What we'll do:?Discuss web archives, ask questions, chat, and offer support. Who:?Hosted by Corinne Chatnik (Union College) and Amanda Greenwood (University of Virginia). Questions or comments? Email?web.jam.archives@....

The ArcLight Integration Project is designing and developing specifications for archives access systems. Currently archivists struggle to use the archival description they create in finding aids to provide access to digitized and born-digital
materials without creating additional digital object metadata and removing items from their archival context – also making it challenging for users to navigate.
UAlbany’s M.E. Grenander Special Collections & Archives is hosting a cohort of experienced practitioners to collaborate in developing new specifications that will enable archival description and digital objects to be managed and discoverable
in the same place. While ArcLight is the primary example for this work, we hope to create a tool-agnostic design that can be implemented in other systems. This work is also specifically focused on smaller institutions without substantial technology support.
Join us to hear about the work we’re doing and give us feedback for your local perspective! Over the hour, we will have a mix of presentations and small group discussions. We welcome students and practitioners of all levels of experience.
Project Goals
- Allow users to discover online and offline collections in the same place
- Enable archivists to describe digital collections just like they do physical collections
- Allow digital collections metadata to have varying levels of detail for each object
- Empower archivists to use their appraisal skills to allocate metadata resources in proportion to the value of materials
- Enable archivists to use existing description for digital materials when appropriate
- Simplify archives technology for smaller or under-resourced libraries
- Experiment with inheritance when indexing multilevel archival description
This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services award.?

Join Us This Week for 'Understanding Our Changing Communities' – The Kickoff of Our 2025 Dialogue Series: The Future of New York
This Thursday, we're excited to launch DHPSNY's 2025 Dialogue series,
The Future of New York. Throughout the year, we’ll explore innovative approaches to preservation as we tackle the guiding question:
What can we, as practitioners in the field — both paid and volunteer — do to build and steward collections for the communities of tomorrow?
New York State’s history is rich and complex. For tens of thousands of years, the Haudenosaunee and their ancestors
have called this land home. Since then, it has undergone waves of colonization, played a pivotal role in the American Revolution, and continues to reckon with the legacy of chattel slavery. For over 400 years, it has also welcomed newcomers to North America
and the United States. Since New Yorkers and our predecessors began collecting historical records, manuscripts, and published materials, we have interrogated “whose story” is represented, often with varying levels of critical analysis.
Kickoff Program: Understanding Our Changing Communities
This week’s interactive session invites participants to learn about different ways to collect and use existing demographic,
economic and historic data to inform collection development. We will hear from practitioners in the field about their experiences and how they used data in creative ways to plan for future collecting that reflects the realities of their communities.
Date: Thursday, January 9, 2025
